Pros and cons
Flowers & Plants Co.
Pros
- One catalogue covers bouquets, plants and subscriptions, so a plant and a bouquet can come from the same seller.
- Same day delivery is available, and the order cutoff is 6pm.
- Entry price of £29.99 is a visible figure, and delivery is charged at £5.95 to £6.95.
Cons
- The freshness guarantee is 0 days, so flowers that arrive tired carry less cover than elsewhere.
- Delivery is charged at £5.95 to £6.95 on top of the £29.99 entry price.
- The range covers GB, so buyers outside the UK have no market here.
FTD
Pros
- Same day delivery is available, with order cutoffs at 2pm weekdays, 1pm weekends.
- A 7 day freshness guarantee covers the bouquet on arrival.
- Range covers bouquets and plants, so flowers and plants come from one order.
Cons
- Orders start at $45, higher than the cheaper entry points in the comparison.
- Delivery costs $19.99 on top, so a single bouquet pays for itself less easily than at Blumenshop.
- Product types are limited to bouquets and plants, with no letterbox flowers or dried flowers as Fleurop lists.

Questions about each
Flowers & Plants Co.
What does the first bouquet cost?+
Entry is £29.99, the lowest price on the flower collection. Delivery is charged on top at £5.95 to £6.95, so your real total is higher than the headline figure. Add both together to compare fairly with another seller.
What happens to the price at renewal?+
The entry price of £29.99 is the visible anchor and no separate introductory rate is listed. That means repeat orders are judged against the same figure. Subscriptions appear in bouquets, plants and subscriptions, so check the terms on that page for how regular deliveries are billed.
FTD
How much does a bouquet from FTD cost?+
Prices start at $45, and delivery is charged separately at $19.99. So the real cost of a first order is the entry price plus the shipping fee, and there is no subscription that would spread that cost across repeat months. Orders are one-off, so nothing recurs after the first delivery.
Can FTD deliver flowers the same day?+
Yes, same day delivery is offered, alongside next day delivery for planned orders. What decides whether a same day order makes it is the cutoff, which sits at 2pm weekdays, 1pm weekends. A morning order has more room than a late afternoon one, and weekend cutoffs fall earlier in the day.
